CHAPTER 2: The big breakthrough?

Finally the much longed-for summer vacation starts and my family and I went on an excursion to New York City. One day I was watching street dancers with my mum. Those who are in every city. I was so enthusiastic because I loved dancing and I really didn't want to leave this place or generally New York. Anyway I was a country kid. Suddenly a photographer named Daniel Paddle surprised me. He said my face looks quite interesting and pretty and that he was watching for such a face for a long time. I turned around to my mother, which only darted skeptical glances and I still didn't know if I was allowed to agree or not, so I decided by myself to agree the entire thing and he took some pictures of my face.
I already pulled out my purse but he didn't want any money, he only left a calling card and said he wanted to call me in the next time to conduct a shooting. My mother wasn't really enthusiastic about all this and tug me a moment after back to our apartment.

2 hours left in which my mom tried to imprint me, that everything would be a crooked thing and they only want my money. I didn't want to hear that, finally I had a feeling of recognition and admiration and my mother want to spoil this? No, not with me. So I was only nodding and went upstairs in my room. Sometimes I layed there for a whole day and was starring at my, with posters wallpapered wall. Justin Timberlake. He's such a beauty. What would I do to meet him sometime? But this time, nearly before I could put in my in-ears to listen to his music, my dad was screaming, I shall come downstairs.

Wherefore I was going downstairs? He said exactly the same as my mother and he was agreeing with my mother the whole time. I was nodding again and again.I didn't want to hinder myself with this, so I went back upstairs as fast as I could.
The weeks left and school was starting again. The photographer still didn't report. Meanwhile I was thinking about to give up hope but no, maybe he'll report, anyway such things need much preparation or not?
And so I sat there day for day, week for week in school and hoped for a response of the photographer. Then it happened. This one day. It was August,11th, 2005. Nearly before my 15th birthday. The photographer left a call and a date for my shooting. I couldn't believe this, even my parents were quite surprised. 'tcha, you should never give up hope' I said to them continuously.
As the day of shooting finally befall, I was as excited as never in my life. Justifiably because the day changed my entire life. I posed on an exterior wall, had to smile and not, and as we finished and looked at the pictures, the photographer praised me perpetual how pretty I am and that I would make it big sometime. I didn't really notice his praise, because I saw myself on this photos and I found them simply horrible. I said nothing to anyone because I always criticize myself and I didn't want to strain everybody.
But I really couldn't believe that I would make it big sometime. I mean, I only caused to take some photos of mine, what shall they align?

It takes exactly 5 months. I get a phone call of Thomas Carter, the director of the movie 'Company Town'. He asked me whether I'm in the mood to act in a little supporting role in his movie and I please shall notify him as early as it's possible.
Wait. What? Actress? Me? Can that be true?
I think we should have record this moment, I was so shocked and overwhelmed, I really was about to cry for joy. Naturally I accepted the whole thing, because I always was an enthusiastic movie lover and even as a kid I watched movies every day and I didn't only watch them and take heed of the plot as most of the people do, I was analyzing them. The occupation 'Actor' always fascinated me but I never dreamed about being an actress too! But stop.
Not that cocky. It's only a little supporting role and after that everything might end.
Even my parents didn't really support me. They will support me when it comes to the point and not that early, they always mentioned.
